Never make these mistakes in Chinese 47

       Mínɡtiān wǒmen chūfā xuéxiào.
False: 明天我们出发学校。
          Mínɡtiān wǒmen cónɡ xuéxiào chūfā.
True: 明天我们学校出发

“出发”是不能带宾语的动词,如果要指明“出发”的地点,应当用表示时空关系的介词“从”,组成介宾词组“从学校”,放在“出发”的前边,做状语。
出发 is a verb which does not take the object. To demonstrate the place of departure, one ought to use 从—— a preposition showing a space-time relationship. 从 plus its object 学校 forms a prepositional phrase, preceding 出发 as an adverbial adjunct.
